CARES helps communities measure performance and identify how to improve cardiac arrest survival rates. By joining CARES, communities gain more than just access to information that will help them improve performance and save lives. They also contribute to one of the largest EMS registries in the world, and one of the few that also includes patient outcome information from hospitals. Those features enable CARES data to be used to conduct vital research that furthers our knowledge of cardiac arrest treatment and saves countless lives for years to come.
In Kansas City, 84.8% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurred at home. Despite 49.1% receiving bystander CPR, no AEDs were applied, even with nearby public availability. Enhancing AED access and awareness is crucial.
Study finds 7 key EMS practices linked to better neurological survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, including frequent CPR training and use of feedback devices. Adopting these practices could boost survival rates nationwide.
